goth

Nancy Downs (Fairuza Balk) is the troubled punk-rock goth teen in 1996’s The Craft. Arguably the favorite among the cult following of this film. Every outfit of hers is admired throughout the whole movie, most notably her Catholic school uniform and the outfit she fights Sarah in.
There are so many fashion pieces she reuses and recreates that it’s up to the admirer to decide what outfit of hers they want to resurrect. Aside from the clothes, her makeup is fairly simple: brown and grey eyeshadow, red or black nail polish, and purple lip-liner with red lipstick.

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (Cassandra Peterson) is a character of contrasts, between her gothic, vampish cleavage-enhanced appearance and quirky Valley-girl personality. When she visits a conservative town, her worldly attitude and revealing clothes lead the townspeople to declare her a witch and try to burn her at the stake.

In the DC comic series The Sandman, Death is both the end of life and the guider of souls. Unlike most personifications of death, like the Grim Reaper, she is a young goth woman dressed in casual clothes who also visits people as they are born.

In The I.T. Crowd, Richmond (Noel Fielding) works in the IT Department with Roy and Moss but no one really knows what he does there, including him. In fact, no one even knew he worked in the office until Jen finds him behind the red door.

Abby Sciuto (Pauley Perrette) is a forensic scientist at NCIS who specializes in ballistics, digital forensics, and DNA analysis. Despite her goth appearance and the fact that she sleeps in a coffin, she’s one of the perkiest and happiest people you’ll ever meet.

In The Crow, Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) and his fiancee Shelly are murdered by thugs on a crime spree. A crow brings him back to life, giving him the ability to warg and the opportunity to seek revenge on his killers.

Lydia Deetz’s style is all but strange and unusual. She keeps it simple by dressing in all black and minimal make up. The hardest part to replicate may actually be her bangs. We can’t guarantee this look will attract a bio-exorcist but you can always try saying his name three times.

If you’re not into wearing color and you like to be the “weird girl” then Allison Reynolds’ look is the one for you. The key is to wear clothes that are a little too big for you and to make sure you carry a giant purse full of nonsensical stuff. We will leave it up to you whether or not you want to go all the way and include the dandruff.

In the web comic Homestuck, Terezi Pyrope is a member of a race of aliens from Alternia who troll the Internet. She is blind, loves dragons, and is curious about the blood color of people around her. Typical Libra.
